A consumer buy-to-let is defined as an applicant with no other buy-to-let properties wishing to obtain a mortgage on a property that has either been inherited or has previously been occupied by the applicant or a related person at any time. Prior to submitting an application, the Intermediary is required to establish and confirm that the application is not a consumer buy-to-let.
